Arriyel,

The documentation on the httpConnect method in the west-wind help file states not to include the protocol in the host name. Your httpConnect line should look more like:

oHTTP.HTTPConnect("www.aesdirect.gov", "UserName", "PassWord", .T.)

You will then need to use the httpGetEx method to specifiy the page "/aesdirect/system/entry.cgi?p_action=BU" etc....

The reason you are currently getting an error of "server not found" is that your httpConnect code is causing your application to look up https://www.aesdirect.gov/aesdirect/system/entry.cgi?p_action=BU" and not
"www.aesdirect.gov".

regards,

Jim Erwin
